That lake is similar to Chautauqua in many ways. When I have a crew of newbies on board, I will grab some nitecrawlers and some white marabou jigs to tip with a small piece. Find the hard weed edge on the side of the lake the waves are crashing on and anchor the boat just off the edge on the clean bottom. Drop lines to bottom, bring bait up 1’ and tingle it. Fish from dinner time til 10-11 pm. You will catch almost every species in the lake to complete a fish fry.

Wow, this is getting spicy! My suggestion to close the Salmon River from October 15th to November 15th was to close it to killing fish but not fishing. Catch and release river-wide for one month.

Close it down October 15th to November 15th. The hatchery has reported problems with the eggs staying viable In the past if conditions are too warm.

no angst now! I knew if I kicked the tires long enough we would learn Lucky 13’s name. My work is done here.

let me get this straight......neither you or King Davy are guides?? So who are you representing in the reported so called “secret” meetings with fisheries? If you claim to be representing the common folk river angler in your quest for Atlantic Salmon for-all, who elected you guys to the position?

Ya that was a softball thrown up. Too easy. I am sure there is a joke to be made using a peanut reference or putting something down below and it came back slimy with green spots. That is half the fun with lake trout.....the discussions we have.

......so you are saying Gambler likes fat chicks?

It happens to great, well experienced Fishermen every year. Last year a well known Canadian fisherman that has videos on YouTube, died fishing solo.

Think spring spread with planers along shore and pierheads. Larger jointed sticks and yes you probably will poke a king.

.......and replacement blade availability

It would be helpful to the viewing audience if began your counter point with.....”Full disclosure, I am a guide (or was a guide) on the DSR. Here is my prospective......”

Full disclosure Lucky.

when did you go to a fiberglass Mike?

Big’un!

Beauty!

A four pack of spoons on slide divers out the back (mags/inside-standards/outside) works all year.

Great fishing for me. I had two late season skunks trying to get some stagers to bite, but it was not from a lack of targets (they just had lock jaw). King fishing for us started in mid March! Love easy winters. Lots of bait inshore that showed late.

No. I was there from 7:45 til 9:30. Unfortunately the end of the pier was completely blocked with a group young men with three rods each and snagging hooks tight-lining. Kind of ruins it for everyone else. I will be glad when they extend the piers as projected.

Go to a school athletics field and walk off all the wire on the reel. Add braid starter in the amount to fill the spool as needed. Tie back in wire to braid filler via modified Albright knot. Put wire back on. Check for wire dings as you reel (you will find them).

I was on olcott pier.

Yep!
